George Orwell’s dystopian masterpiece ‘1984’, published in 1949, is one of the most influential novels in recent history, with its chilling depiction of perpetual war, pervasive government surveillance and incessant public mind-control.

Directed by Robert Icke and Duncan Macmillan with Daniel Raggett, this sensational adaptation marks the third time it has played in the West End.
